BIMZELX® (bimekizumab): THE FIRST AND ONLY DUAL IL-17A AND IL-17F INHIBITOR

 

BIMZELX® is indicated for: moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults who are candidates for systemic therapy. Bimzelx, alone or in combination with methotrexate, is indicated for the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis in adults who have had an inadequate response or who have been intolerant to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).1 Bimzelx is now approved by the EMA and MHRA for the treatment of active moderate-to-severe HS in adults who have had an inadequate response to conventional systemic HS therapy.
